By the time he was perfectly alright, the bell had rung. Cam shook his head and just made his way to the next class he had. Art. He'd missed it yesterday so he wondered what kind of awfulness he had to make up today as he walked through the door and smiled at the teacher. She smiled back at him, which made him feel better about this. He'd been the fifth person into the room, which wasn't bad at all... He made his way to his normal seat and sat down, drumming his fingers over the top of the table. ----- Standing slowly, Aza shook her head and knew she couldn't let this rain on her parade. She inhaled deeply and put all of this behind her. She grabbed her things and began to walk towards her art class, rather happy and insanely confident again as she remembered that was her last class. It was the one she was wanting to go to... So why should she be awkward and upset during it? Like yesterday. She refused to allow that to happen. She was better than that now. Much better. Stepping through the door, Aza inhaled the scent of the room. It smelled like color pencils with a slight hint of paint. She then made her way over to the seat and sat down. She placed her things on top of the table and pushed her bangs out of her face. She then sighed softly and leaned back in her chair, slouching a little. She felt so much better today for some reason... She didn't even feel any different sitting next to Draydon... She looked over at him for a moment, rather smug with herself for not being the normal shy girl she was. |
The repetitive drumming on the table sounded in Sasha's head, and she lifted it to look up at a male student. His multi-toned shock of hair surprised her, but then she look at his eyes and was suddenly entranced. She sat up straight and smiled a hello at him. Who would have thought just seeing someone next to her would get her spirits back up?
"Hi there, my name's Sasha. You weren't sitting there yesterday," she said to him, still grinning brightly. - - He knew the girl seemed a bit different today, but she completely shocked him. Her demeanor seemed entirely different, and when she looked over at him with that smug expression he raised his eyebrows. "You sure are... confident today," he said, a grin slowly spreading across his face. Perfect. He was glad he had decided to come to school today. Perhaps her confidence was a one day only thing, so he had to make a move now. |
Noticing that there was a new girl next to him, he looked at her with great interest. She was pretty and she seemed really nice, so it caused him to smile at her. He laughed at what she had to say and he shook his head. He sighed softly, forgetting all about what had happened in the cafeteria in an instant. It was amazing how just one person saying something to him could elicit that reaction, but he was glad... And the smile made it obvious as he nodded his head. "I was just absent yesterday because I wasn't feel very well," he lied. He didn't want to tell her that he didn't want to come to school because he just didn't feel like it. That wouldn't be a good first impression now, would it? "Oh. I almost forgot. My name is Cam. Nice to meet you, Sasha." He added another smile to that sentence. ----- That caused her to laugh out loud, but only lightly. She leaned forward and pressed her elbow into the table and rested her face in her palm as she looked over at him. "It's amazing what kind of changes a person can go through just over night isn't it?" she asked him as she laughed again, but it was much more silent than the one before. She then sighed softly and looked around the room. there were still a few people that had to make their way into the class because of all of the empty seats. She shrugged and turned her attention back to Draydon, trying to see if talking to him would help her figure out just what he was. |
Sasha frowned at what he said.
"Well at least you feel better now?" she asked, genuinely worried. Sasha had always been pretty gullible, both when she was human and as an angel. It was something that never seemed to leave her. She smiled at him again when he said his name. Cam. It was nice. The late bell interrupted her thoughts and made her jump a little bit. They were kept from talking any longer by the teacher who was telling them what they would be doing today. The assignment would be one that continued for a week, instead of a single day drawing. They were going to have to draw the person next to them, which made Sasha blush without thinking about it. What should make her blush? She shook her head vigorously, she wasn't supposed to be acting like a little high school girl. She should focus on her real assignment. The teacher went around and handed out large sheets of paper and drawing pencils to everyone in the room. She informed them that it would be good to at least get a basic sketch done today. They could draw a simple portrait of their partner or they could be more imaginative and come up with their own idea. Sasha figured she should stick to a simple portrait, it would look bad enough like that. She sighed as she looked up at Cam, embarrassed that she would have to stare at him for the whole class period. - - "Sure is..." Draydon said. He was opening his mouth to say more when the bell stopped him and the teacher immediately began telling them what they would be doing. As he got his sheet of paper he looked over at Aza, deciding that he would draw two portraits of her. He could finish it today... but maybe he should draw slower so that he wouldn't have to sit around for the next week. He began to slide his pencil around on the paper, capturing the lines of her face perfectly. The page would show her two separate sides, the one from yesterday which was withdrawn and shy, and the one from today, which was confident and quick. He didn't need to but he kept glancing up at her face. He was trying to decipher exactly what the change could have been brought on by. Maybe yesterday she was just feeling shy and awkward since it was her first day. He kinda doubted that theory though, something else had happened. |
The only thing that could be worse than drawing yourself, would be to have to draw someone else. He sighed and took the paper from the teacher, thanking her with a small smile before turning to look at Sasha. He shook his head and laughed a little. He didn't want to draw her because he knew it wasn't going to be good... At all. He was going to do her face so much injustice. He sighed with that fact and shrugged it off. He just laughed a little and leaned close to her. "I would like to humbly apologize for the mutilation that is about to happen to your facial structure. I'm not a very good artist at all," he said to her with a laugh. He then shook his head and began his work, not making it look nearly as bad as he was expecting... It looked kind of like her as he did the base lines and everything, but it didn't look like he wanted it to... It would have to do in the end though... He let out a heavy sigh as he looked back up at her again. ----- The response she got from him was completely acceptable and it made her smirk some. She then turned her attention to the teacher as she explained the assignment. She could definitely do that as she realized that Dray and herself had unconsciously picked themselves as partners... Even though there was technically a person on the other side of them both... But it was obvious to each of them that they should draw each other instead. She took the paper and laid it down, her eyes glancing up at him as she tried to find a plan of attack. Then she started to draw the shape of his face... And as she did, she realized she was going to do more than one of him as well. As she drew the side of his square jaw, she knew she wanted to draw a side view and a front view of him. She couldn't lie to herself and tell herself that he wasn't attracted. He was, but she didn't want to think about that right now... but it was really hard to do when you were actually drawing the person you were trying not to think about. She was capturing his features perfectly in the side view, since she decided to draw that first, and she figured that she should slow down on her drawing. She was a fast drawer and she didn't want to not have anything to do for the rest of the week... |
Sasha laughed lightly at Cam's comment.
"Don't worry, I'll be doing to same to you," she said with a quick wink. She got to work on her portrait, constantly looking up at his face to see if she was doing ok. It definitely wasn't the real thing. However, when she got to his eyes she seemed to grab artistic talent out of nowhere. She carefully traced her pencil across the page, capturing the icy eyes with precision. She spent a while on them, and when she finally done getting them sketched she looked up from them to take in the picture as a whole. It was a strange sight. His eyes looked perfect in the center of his face, while the rest of him looked scribbely and lopsided. She started giggling at the ridiculous picture, clasping her hand over her mouth to muffle the sound. "I'm sorry, this.... is just... so bad..." she said to Cam, laughing in between her words. - - Even though Draydon had tried to slow himself down, he had gotten the drawing about halfway done when the class was about to end. The two portraits looked like total opposites, which is what Aza seemed like today; completely opposite from how she had been yesterday. He glanced over at her and the smooth, dark lines she had made on the paper as she drew him. He could feel more energy building up inside of him but held it in. Maybe he would go outside the city and just run around as he released the energy. He didn't have many options dealing with that. His thoughts were interrupted by the teacher who was coming around. She told both of them that they were quite fast drawers and wanted to know what they're inspiration was for what they were drawing. Draydon frowned and ran his hand through his dark hair, sighing. "I guess... mine is just because Aza was so shy yesterday but today she seems a lot more confident. So I'm drawing that," he told the art teacher, his brow furrowed with annoyance. |
The drawing wasn't looking nearly as bad as he was expecting it to. He sighed as he got pretty much everything evenly balanced. He was drawing her in a more... Cartoony style that he was wanting to though. He knew it didn't look realistic in the least, but he didn't really care too much. It was still a portrait of her. Sadly though, he took a lot of time on drawing the lips. He kept looking up at her and back down at the page, forming them almost perfectly. He wasn't sure what the attraction was there, but... He enjoyed the way he was drawing them. When he was done with the lips, nothing else on the paper looked too good anymore and it made him feel kind of strange. She shrugged the feeling off and just stretched out his shoulders some. He then looked down at his rather childish looking drawing and then back to her, laughing lightly. He then looked down at her drawing of him and couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't bad, but he found her reaction to be comical. "It's not bad, Sasha," he said as he continued to laugh. "I really like how you did the eyes though." ----- It was rather strange for her to be drawing him like this... The perfection before her becoming utter perfection on her page as well. It made her not like this drawing or the person the more she sketched it... But then when she finally took a small mental break from this and looked down at his own drawing, it made her blush slightly. He'd drawn two pictures as well... And one was of her yesterday. He'd apparently been over analyzing things... How could he remember it so perfectly? But then again, it was pretty easy to remember those features when the person was sitting right in front of you. She shook her head and then looked back down at the picture she'd been drawing. Making some more jots and lines on it, she was rather proud of her work. She'd not added all of the detail she wanted to, mainly in the hair, but... It was good... Really good... The expression she'd drawn on his face in the front view made her have to look away though. It just made her want to smile because that was how she drew him... Smiling. Then she turned her face up to look at the teacher. She laughed a little when he explained why he drew it that way. Aza then looked back towards the teacher. "I drew it this way because you can't fully capture all of the features of someone if you draw them from one perspective... Had I just drawn a front view, you would not have been able to see the squareness in his jaw... But had I only drawn the side view, you would not have been able to see so much more," she explained to the woman, glancing back down at her picture and then back towards Draydon. |
"Yours isn't bad either," Sasha said to him, still giggling a bit.
The teacher soon came around to ask about their drawings but neither of them had a very good explanation about why they did what they did. Pretty much because it was the easiest thing to do. The class finished up quickly after that, and when they were done they were all told to put their drawing into separate shelves until they started working on them again tomorrow. Sasha started gathering up her things then, sad to have to go back to an empty apartment and even more sad that she knew she would have to really get to work searching for this demon by herself. She sighed before rising back up and throwing her bag over her shoulder. - - The teacher quickly moved on and after that they were left to continue drawing for the rest of the class. It went by quickly, and after the bell rang Draydon immediately stood up and got out of the room. He wanted to go burn off that energy soon, he hated bottling it up, he was just about to explode from it actually. He practically ran back home, not even bothering to talk to Aza again before he left. |
Honestly, that wasn't a question that he wasn't sure of the answer to. He answered it the same way Sasha did. He just wanted to do something easy that wouldn't make her look like a complete atrocity... He then laughed under his breath when she walked away and looked over at Sasha again. He shrugged his shoulders and then looked around when he'd heard the bell ring. This class had never gone by so quickly before. He was insanely surprised and he noticed her packing her things to leave. He figured they could chat a little more and he could even walk her home. That made him smile as he turned to his own things and packed them all up, slinging his bag over his shoulders. ---- When he just up and left, Aza shrugged her shoulders. He seemed to have a habit of doing that and she didn't much care. He grabbed her things and made her way back home, noticing that her father wasn't there. It made her feel a little bad, but she didn't much care right now. She wasn't planning on staying in for the night, but she knew she couldn't go out until the sun was starting to go down... Her medicine wasn't good for prolonged sun exposure. |
Sasha looked up at Cam after she had finished packing her things. Since he was sitting down the whole time she hadn't realized how big he was. She had to crane her neck to see his face.
"Well... it was nice to meet you today Cam," she said to him, a smile on her face. She didn't even think about seeing if he would want to walk with her, so she started to step forward to leave the class. - - - For the rest of the afternoon Draydon was on the outskirts of the town, running laps around it. He would release small spurts of his demon energies as he ran, the exercise helping it to flow easier. It took a while for him to get it drained to his normal amount since he couldn't release more than a drop at a time or else it could draw attention. He was sweating hard after the hours of sprinting, and when he felt good about his energy he started to make his way back into the city. |
"It was nice to meet you too, Sasha," he said and then nodded, a smile plastered on his face. He then shifted his bag further onto his shoulder and stuffed his hands into his pockets. He then made his way out of the school and trotted down the stairs, headed to his apartment. He then noticed that he was headed in the same direction as Sasha... He grinned to himself and made his way to walk beside of her. "Hey. It appears we're headed in the same direction... Why don't I walk you home?" he asked her with a smile. --- Making her way home, Aza couldn't help the extra amounts of energy she had stored up... She was pleased to see that her father wasn't home because she didn't need his guilt trips... She made her way up to her room anyway though and threw herself onto her bed. Her face was buried in the pillow as she beat her hands on the bed. She didn't want to have to stay in... She would have to wait for it to be dark though... So, she didn't have a thing to do until about 6 o'clock. |
As she made her way around and out the building Sasha found herself thinking about her new classmate, and was only shaken out of her stupor by the bright sunlight. She was happily walking along to her current living quarters, humming tunelessly, when she heard that friendly, deep voice again behind her. She turned quickly in surprise and tangled her feet up in each other. Clumsily, she began to trip forward and reached out her arm to brace herself. Without thinking about it she released some of her energy in order to break her fall, but swiftly recalled it, knowing it would look very strange to Cam if she suddenly started hovering off the ground.
She hit the ground roughly, scraping her hand and then her elbow, almost doing the same to her face but luckily avoided doing so. A small grunt of pain escaped her lips, more for effect than actual discomfort. After a second she looked up sheepishly at Cam, an embarrassed laugh tumbling out of her mouth. He was human after all right? He wouldn't have been able to sense the holy energy that she had let out unless he was a psychic or something. [Gonna skip Dray's part so that we can get both parts to the same time lol.] |
